Cdata And Exportprintpreviewtoimage

I have a 3x5truck.btw label file linked to 3x5truck_datasource.txt containing a few records of sample data.

 

I have an XML file (shown below) being processed by Commander as a "Bartender XML Script".

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XMLScript Version="2.0" Name="TRUCK_20140604" ID="001">
<Command Name="Job_TRUCK_ORD229510_00083078005030">

<TextData>

</ExportPrintPreviewToImage>
</Command>
</XMLScript>

 

While the process successfully creates a jpg file the CDATA values are effectively ignored (the print-preview/export occurs using the records in 3x5truck_datasource.txt.)  What am doing wrong?

  I tested your script here and it works appropriately.  What version/edition of BarTender are you using?  Can you upload your label format?

  Thanks for taking a look at this.  I appreciate it.

   

  BT 9.4 SR3

   

  3x5truck.btw label file.

  3x5truck_datasource.txt for label file containing 3 example data records (ORD777777, ORD888888, ORD999999).

  truck_bartender_xml_1.xml containing CDATA (ORD111111)  -- I renamed this .XML file to .TXT to facilitate the upload to this site.

   

  When commander processes truck_bartender_xml_1.xml, the output is print-preview JPGs of the records in 3x5truck_datasource.txt rather than the CDATA in truck_bartender_xml_1.xml.  JPGs also attached.

  Do you get the same issue if you run your BTXML-Script file directly from BarTender, via the "File > Run BTXML Script" Menu?

   

  For me this is working fine, but I'm trying with the latest version of BarTender here, which is 10.1 SR3...
